Treasurer, Haywood long; Critic, Rusl
Wilson. The society paper was read a
usual, and contained some very interesting
and instructive papers, notably among
them one on the subiet of Cyclones aDC
Tornados." The subject for debate was
"ResolUed, That the amusements ordin
arily INDUCED in by boys are moro health

Cyclone talk still goes on and hundred!
of visitors come every day.

fresh cyclone policies to the multitude.
The employees Of the Elson Glass Com
pany raised $3.50 for the benefit of the
cyclone sufferers yesterday. This an ex
traordinary display Of liberality when i
is taken into consideration that majority

Our city's health was never in a better
condition than Just now. There has moi
been death from any contagious disease
in three months. However, it is not {
good scheme to wait till some violent dis
order makes its appearance among us be
fore the work of cleaning up and prepar
ing for summer begins Our Board Of
Health should get down 10 business Al
once, and put some one to work, looking
after mud holes, filthy back lois, and nui
sances against the city's cleanliness and
health. There are several notable in
stances of bad cdor, and filthy drains or
top Of ground, which should be looked
after at once, and the proper persons com
PEELED to place them in order.
We heard man from the country, who
might be termed a cranky partizan, say
yesterday Buchanan sent frost in June
and destroyed all the fruit, and now Cleve,
land tries to get ahead of him by bringing
on our heads the fury of a cyclone" He
must have a very high regard for BuChan,
nan and Cleveland, or he would not ascribe
TO them divine power.
The next most dangerous thing to q cy-
clone, is q G. IL p. L. X. train running
across Hanover street ut a fifteen mile rate
and no gates or other protection TO teams or
pedestrians.
The work of repairing the damage Gone
by last weeks cyclone goes bravely on. In
a short time few new roofs and here and
there the remains of broken tree will be
the only things to mark its path through
our town. Our citizens have shown great
courage and energy in the matter OF replac-
ing their losses, and nearly every one who
could has put his property into rs good
shape as possible.

Vile, was in the city part of yesterday.
Dave Ray and James Timberlake have

We heard gentleman remark yesterday
that "he would like TO see little cyclone
meander down Hanover street and carry
off all the storebOxes, barrels and other
highway Instructions it might find. :"
"Yes, and the corner lOafers, TOO. !"
chimed in q bystander. We know the
ladies will say amen to this last remark.
